BD ANNOUNCES FISCAL SECOND QUARTER RESULTS
Company Increases Earnings Guidance For Fiscal Year 2003
Franklin Lakes, NJ (April 25, 2003) - BD (Becton, Dickinson and Company) (NYSE:
BDX) today reported record quarterly revenues of $1.134 billion for the fiscal
second quarter ended March 31, 2003, an increase of 12 percent from the same
period a year ago. At constant foreign exchange rates, revenues increased 7
percent. Revenue growth in all segments benefited from favorable foreign
currency translation, particularly with respect to the Euro.
"We are pleased with our performance in the second quarter," said Edward J.
Ludwig, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer. "Strong revenue growth
was driven, in particular, by our broad line of safety-engineered devices. Also
this quarter, the Company launched significant new products - the BD Logic(TM)
Blood Glucose Monitor, the BD Latitude(TM) Diabetes Management System and the BD
FACSAria(TM) cell sorter. These introductions underscore our strategy of
pursuing sustainable revenue growth by focusing on products that have a higher
benefit to patients, healthcare workers and researchers."
Diluted earnings per share and net income for the quarter were 54 cents and $142
million, respectively. For the same period in fiscal 2002, net income was $129
million and diluted earnings per share were 48 cents, or 50 cents excluding the
impact of a special charge of 2 cents per share relating to the manufacturing
restructuring in the BD Medical Systems segment.
Q2 Segment Results
- ------------------
In the BD Medical Systems segment, worldwide revenues of $602 million increased
13 percent. Included in BD Medical Systems revenues were U.S. safety-engineered
product sales of $98 million, versus $85 million in the prior year's quarter.
Also contributing to the growth of the segment were sales of prefillable drug
delivery devices. The overall growth rate in the segment was partly offset by
reduced sales of conventional devices in the U.S. due to the transition to
safety-engineered devices.
In the BD Clinical Laboratory Solutions segment, worldwide revenues increased 12
percent to $357 million. Revenue growth of 15 percent in the Preanalytical
Solutions portion of the segment included U.S. safety-engineered device sales of
$68 million, versus $50 million in the prior year's quarter. These results were
partly offset by reduced sales of conventional devices due to the transition to
safety-engineered devices.
In the BD Biosciences segment, worldwide revenues grew 6 percent to $175
million. Revenue growth was driven primarily by favorable foreign exchange
as well as immunology/cell biology (Pharmingen) reagents and Discovery
Labware products. This growth was offset in part by continued weaker demand
for certain molecular biology (Clontech) reagents. As expected, sales of
current flow cytometry instruments were negatively impacted as some customers
decided to wait for the new BD FACSAria(TM) cell sorter, which began initial
shipments at the end of March.
Q2 Geographic Results
- ---------------------
On a geographic basis, second quarter revenues in the U.S. increased 6 percent
to $578 million. Revenues outside the U.S. of $556 million grew 19 percent, or 9
percent at constant foreign exchange rates. International revenues in the second
quarter benefited from favorable foreign exchange as well as strong performance
in Europe, Japan and Asia Pacific, offset in part by the effects of continuing
unfavorable economic conditions in Latin America.
Six-month Results
- -----------------
For the six-month period ended March 31, 2003, reported revenues were $2.186
billion, a 12 percent increase over a year ago, or 8 percent at constant foreign
exchange rates. Diluted earnings per share for the six-month period were 97
cents. For the same period in fiscal 2002, diluted earnings per share were 85
cents, or 87 cents excluding the special charge relating to the manufacturing
restructuring.
West Pharmaceutical Services Update
- -----------------------------------
BD has completed its assessment of the impacts resulting from the explosion on
January 29, 2003 of the West Pharmaceutical Services facility in Kinston, NC.
West is a supplier of rubber, plastic and metal components used in the
manufacture of various BD products. West and BD successfully worked together
under difficult circumstances following the explosion to minimize the impact
on product supply to customers. The cost to BD in the second quarter was
negligible, and the Company expects the impact for the balance of fiscal 2003
also to be negligible.
Fiscal 2003 Outlook
- -------------------
The Company increased its earnings guidance for fiscal 2003 from $2.09 to $2.12.
For the third and fourth quarters, the Company expects diluted earnings per
share of 54 cents and 61 cents, respectively. These expectations assume that
U.S. dollar exchange rates, in particular related to the Euro, remain
approximately at current levels.
